Mercenary Cuirass - Polished Steel and Leather

The Mercenary Cuirass features a robust design that encases the wearer's torso, providing essential coverage for both the front and back. The inverted U-shaped neck design ensures comfort while protecting the thorax. Its lower edge is rounded to fit seamlessly around the hips, safeguarding the pelvis area. The cuirass is constructed from 1 mm thick mild steel, complemented by top-grain leather straps that secure it firmly at the shoulders and sides. This armor piece is compatible with other Epic Armoury products, allowing for versatile customization of your character's look.

Plate armor gained prominence during the 13th century as firearms became more common on battlefields.
